Understanding Your Prysm Score

A Clear, Actionable View of Your Nutritional Wellness

Modern health isn’t just about how you look or feel today – it’s about understanding what’s happening inside your body and making informed lifestyle choices for the long term.

The Prysm Score is designed to do exactly that: provide a simple, science-based snapshot of your nutritional and antioxidant wellness, empowering you to take meaningful action.

What is a Prysm Score?

The Prysm Score is a numerical score that reflects your body’s antioxidant status, specifically linked to carotenoids, which are powerful antioxidants commonly found in fruits and vegetables.

Carotenoids play an important role in supporting the body’s ability to manage oxidative stress, which is influenced by diet, lifestyle, environment, and daily habits. Because the body does not produce carotenoids on its own, your levels are closely tied to what you eat and how you live.

In simple terms, your Prysm Score offers a real-time indicator of how well your current lifestyle supports your nutritional health.

What are Carotenoids?

Carotenoids are natural pigments found in many fruits and vegetables that give them their bright colours, like orange carrots, red tomatoes, and yellow peppers. They are powerful antioxidants that help protect the body from damage, support healthy skin, eyes, and immune function, and may reduce the risk of diseases. Eating a diet rich in colourful fruits and vegetables helps increase carotenoid levels in the body!

Why Skin Carotenoids Matter

Skin carotenoid levels reflect longer-term dietary and lifestyle patterns, not just what you ate yesterday. This makes the Prysm Score particularly valuable for monitoring sustainable lifestyle changes.

Because carotenoids cannot be produced by the body, their levels respond directly to:

  • Nutritional quality
  • Consistency of healthy habits
  • Overall lifestyle balance


As habits improve, carotenoid levels in the skin gradually increase – something that can be objectively tracked through repeat Prysm scans.

How is the Prysm Score Measured?

The Prysm Score is measured using advanced optical sensing and AI-driven analysis through the Prysm iO device. The process is fast, non-invasive, and designed to translate complex biological data into a clear, actionable score.

Designed for Monitoring Progress

The Prysm Score is intended as a wellness and lifestyle indicator, not a medical or diagnostic test. Its greatest strength lies in:

  • Providing immediate feedback
  • Encouraging accountability
  • Supporting informed lifestyle decisions


By measuring, tracking, and interpreting antioxidant status over time, the Prysm Score helps individuals move from guesswork to data-driven wellness planning.

How It Works:
  1. Non-Invasive Optical Skin Scanning

    The measurement begins with a simple fingertip scan. When your fingertip is placed on the Prysm iO device, it emits specific wavelengths of light into the skin.

    Carotenoids – natural antioxidants derived from fruits and vegetables – interact with light in a unique and measurable way. Because carotenoids accumulate in the skin over time, their presence provides a reliable indicator of overall antioxidant status and long-term nutritional intake.

    The device captures thousands of spectral data points during the scan, allowing it to detect subtle variations in how light is absorbed and reflected by the skin.

  2. Spectral Analysis and AI Interpretation

    The Prysm iO uses patent-pending Spectral Rai Technology to isolate signals associated with carotenoid levels from other skin components such as melanin or blood flow.

    This raw spectral data is then processed using artificial intelligence and machine learning models trained on large datasets from years of nutritional and antioxidant research. These models help:

    • Identify carotenoid-specific patterns
    • Adjust for individual biological differences
    • Improve accuracy and consistency of readings

    By combining optical science with AI, the device transforms complex biological signals into meaningful, user-friendly insights.

  3. Converting Data Into a Prysm Score

    Once carotenoid levels are analysed, the system converts the results into a standardised Prysm Score.

    The score is:

    • Normalised so results are comparable across individuals
    • Categorised into six clearly defined levels
    • Designed for tracking, making it easy to see changes over time


    Rather than focusing on raw scientific numbers, the Prysm Score simplifies interpretation, allowing individuals to quickly understand whether their lifestyle habits are improving, maintaining, or limiting their nutritional wellness.

What Does Your Prysm Score Reveal About Your Health?

The Prysm Score is grouped into six levels on the nutritional wellness scale, making it easier to understand what your score means and where there may be opportunities for improvement. Each level reflects your body’s antioxidant and nutritional status, influenced by diet, lifestyle habits, and overall wellness patterns.

The Prysm Score does not diagnose disease. Instead, it provides insight into how well your current lifestyle supports long-term health.

Here’s what each level of the nutritional wellness scale indicates:

🔴   LOWEST (Score: Below 200)
– Very Low Antioxidant Levels

  • Likely insufficient intake of fruits and vegetables
  • Lifestyle habits may be placing higher oxidative stress on the body
  • This level indicates significant room for improvement. Nutrition quality and daily habits may not be adequately supporting the body’s ability to cope with environmental and lifestyle stressors.

🟠   LOWER (Score: 200–299)
– Needs Improvement

  • Below-average antioxidant levels
  • Inconsistent nutrition or lifestyle patterns
  • Your body is receiving some nutritional support, but not consistently enough to provide optimal antioxidant protection. Small improvements can lead to noticeable gains.

🟡   MODERATE (Score: 300–399)
– Average but Suboptimal

  • Average antioxidant support
  • Mixed lifestyle habits—some supportive, some working against progress
  • This level reflects a typical lifestyle but also highlights clear opportunities for improvement. With targeted changes, it is often possible to move up a level relatively quickly.

🟢   MODERATE TO HIGH (Score: 400–499)
– Healthy & Balanced

  • Above-average antioxidant status
  • Generally supportive nutrition and lifestyle habits
  • Your current habits are contributing positively to your nutritional wellness. This level suggests good dietary quality and a relatively balanced lifestyle.

🔵   HIGH (Score: 500–599)
– Strong Antioxidant Protection

  • Well-established, health-conscious lifestyle
  • This level reflects intentional, consistent choices around nutrition, activity, and recovery. Your lifestyle is effectively supporting your body’s resilience and wellness.

💜   HIGHEST (Score: 600 and Above)
– Exceptional Antioxidant and Nutritional
Status

  • Highly supportive, disciplined lifestyle habits
  • This level is typically seen in individuals who are very intentional about their health. Nutrition, lifestyle balance, and daily habits are aligned to support optimal wellness.

Healthy Lifestyle and Fitness Habits Correlate With Higher Scores

Your Prysm Score is largely driven by nutrition. While healthy lifestyle and fitness habits help, they’re often not enough on their own. The best way to improve your score is by combining an active lifestyle with better nutrition, especially eating more fruits and vegetables and using carotenoid-rich supplements.
